The following scenes were deleted from the short release due to time constraints:

  • The opening narration is edited to remove the description of the Olympics as taking place "within the shadow of beautiful Mount Olympus, in the land of ancient Greece".
  • The first scene of Goofy as torchbearer.
  • All scenes between Goofy foot racing and the decathlon, including the hurdles, the pole vault, and the hammer throw.
  • Goofy is hit several times on the butt.

Notes[]

  • The background of Mount Olympus is reused from the opening shot of the Pastoral Symphony segment of Fantasia.
  • During the pole vaulting sequence, the narrator quotes the poem "Crossing the Bar" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
